Karissa Dirk

Designer

Growing up you could find me in one of two places. Crafting with my mother, or building with my father. I guess you could say this was meant to be, but it didn't happen like that. Prior to starting this company, I worked in the funeral industry for 7 years. Don't ask me why. Now however, I would say it was for the tremendously eye opening and heart wrenching experiences I had there. Things you could never learn from any book, or show on television. Real life, real love, real pain, and real mortality. Life lessons I wouldn't trade for the world. The end of that career came at the very beginning of the end of my marriage. Broken and defeated, I turned to some abandoned furniture for a distraction. With the love and support of my family and friends, something beautiful started to happen. I could see hope where before there was only despair. I could see color where before everything was black. I could see a light at the end of the tunnel, and a new path for my life to take. This is it, and there is no other place I'd rather be.

My Story

"Karissa is AMAZING! You should hire her!"

Emmie & Harvey Danielson,

Parents and proud supporters

"I've been fortunate enough to have two pieces of Karissa's work in my home - one for each of my children. Her creativity and attention to detail are amazing. I had a basic idea of what I wanted, but needed help to make my ideas come to life. Karissa did just that. She was prompt, yet meticulous. I have recommended her to several other friends and colleagues, many of whom have contacted her for their own projects"

The Word on the Street

"When I grow up I want to be a rainbow"

~Karissa Danielson, Age 5

"We honestly could not be happier with our mural. Everyone who sees it comments that it is a one-of-a-kind piece of art that transforms the room. Karissa made us feel so comfortable in this process; her talent and eye for design is incredible. You need to book this up and coming artist now while she is still affordable!"
